I haven't decided what Burst Motor that i'm gonna use.

You seriously have to be [expletive]ing me. How can you expect to build (OK I understand someone's building it for you but still, you are likely going to have things break on you) and compete with (never mind repair) a robot when you don't even know how the robot works?

Stop. Just stop everything. Get off GTM, everything. Take a couple of years to grow up and mature. Then you can come back and actually understand that building a robot isn't as simple as in RA2, and we can all be friends.

Agreed?

Hey, a flipper can really be effective, i can Flip bots that don't have a Self-Righter.

Have fun flipping nothing then...virtually every bot these days is can either self right or is invertable, or doesn't have to worry about either because they're built to handle flippers and lifters.



I'd honestly suggest that you start out building something like an antweight or a beetleweight, you obviously don't know what you're getting yourself into.

I don't think I've ever seen Badnik this passionate... But he does present a few good points.

From what I understand, you're having someone else build your bot, not really lending a hand in the process yourself, correct?

I know nothing about IRL robotics, but it seems like common sense to overlook the building of your bot or lend a hand in building it, so you quite literally know it inside-out. Also, be realistic. If this is your first bot, a pneumatic (lol... Burst motor... u so silly) flipper will probably be a little complicated for you. Start off with a pushbot or a poker, a wedgebot or something simpler to make, so you can understand some of the basics of robotics and stuff.

You don't need to take my advice, but at least consider it.

Or if you still want the satisfaction of a moving weapon, surplus angle grinders make extremely ineffective but fun spark machines.

[Sylandro]

Although, Trinitrotoluene's flipper is Electric Powered. I'll probably make a Wedgebot first.

So then it would pretty much be a lifter, I doubt an electric motor would give you enough leverage to actually flip an opponent.

Just don't get yourself hurt k?  They wouldn't put that warning at the end of every Robot Wars episode if it wasn't true.


Have we established if he's from the US or UK?

[Sylandro]

Yes, i'm from the USA. If anything is in New York, i'd go there. But unfortunately, My Dad's Patient has Died, so he can't make cash. BTW, My dad's a Male Nurse.

[Badger]

Sorry guys, by can I stop your little party for a second?

If you guys can't see the troll, you are blind + retarded. Ignore this guy.

But I've jut been reminded that I need to finish my ant. You know, the one I started 1.5 years ago?

There's stuff in Pennsylvania if you can get your parents to drive for a day or so...

This is also curious.

[Badnik96]

Could you possibly answer the three questions I posted earlier?

He could be offline ya know.

Male nurses get paid crap you know.

ok fixed it no more "bad" words

I EEAM SOH ANGREEH
Naw, i'm just kidding.
Here's what my wedge is gonna look like ( In DSL )

[Mr. AS]

MOAR RAZORS !!!!!!!!

that looks pretty flimsy tbh

[Sylandro]

Armor's Plastic 10. In real life, the bot's gonna have Poly Carbonate Armor.
Man, my wedge is going to get killed like Roadkill.

If it's truly going to look like that, It'll get shattered easily by hammer bots.

The space between the wedge and the body is like a target...

Well, the space between the wedge and the body will be allot shorter. Heck, the Wedge will be the part of it's body!

[Badnik96]

Then just make a chassis instead of doing that.

There are ways to prevent that. Like, you know, making stronger wedges.


Anyay, I think this has already been asked ten times by now, but do you have ANY experience with building robots? Wiring, welding, any of that stuff?
